A 25-year-old lady from Zhongshan visited HANFEI Plastic Surgery Hospital for autologous fat facial filling, hoping to fix her flat apple cheeks that lacked “glow” on camera.
As a beauty blogger who posts makeup tutorials and product reviews, she relied on camera-ready skin—but her thin cheeks made her look “gaunt” in close-up shots, even with contour and highlighter. She preferred autologous fat filling over temporary fillers because she wanted long-lasting results that would look natural, not “made-up.”
We planned the procedure to fit her needs: first, we extracted a small amount of fat from her lower abdomen (where she had a slight excess) using gentle liposuction—this area was chosen because the fat cells have a high survival rate. The fat was purified using a low-speed centrifuge to remove impurities, then injected into her apple cheeks using a “micro-droplet” technique to ensure even distribution. This method avoids lumps that would be noticeable on camera, and the entire procedure took about 1.5 hours. She had mild swelling on her cheeks for 4 days, but she covered it with light makeup and continued posting short videos.
By the end of the second month, the fat cells had fully integrated, and her apple cheeks had a natural, healthy glow: they looked plump when she smiled (perfect for makeup tutorials) and didn’t look overfilled. She told me, “My followers keep saying my skin looks ‘brighter’—they think it’s a new skincare product, not fat filling! It’s exactly the natural look I wanted for my channel.”
